Emma Armstrong - Time 2 B Me

Hi my name is Emma Armstrong and I am one of Denise Linn’s Certified Soul Coaches and an NLP Practitioner through Latitude Training who are based here in Cape Town. I live and work in the culturally diverse area of Bo Kaap, Cape Town and travel regularly out of the country for my other work - Awards Producer for Prepaid Awards.

I began to take a serious look at my life in 1995 when I went on a phenomenal life-training course with Foundation SA and have loved the rollercoaster ride ever since! Through Soul Coaching, Past Life Coaching and Neuro Linguistic Programming, I now support others in finding their true selves. When I am working with someone I seem to have a knack of asking the right questions allowing them to have many ‘ah ha’ moments and this gives me immense pleasure. I give the time, space and support required to allow everyone I work with to understand and believe in themselves, so they can create positive change in their lives. I firmly believe that we all deserve to be happy. It is our birthright.

Carol Gerber - Possibilites Coach - Gerbera Coaching

Hi there, my name is Carol Gerber and I am a Possibilities Coach. I work in the field of Life Coaching, where my greatest passion is to partner with women who feel that their lives are stagnating and are looking to move their lives to the next level.

Together we will look at all the aspects of your life, developing realistic, achievable goals that are underpinned by your personal value structure. In this way you will be able to take that next step forward, knowing that you are moving towards an integrated, yet purposeful self. .Life Coaching can be defined as the process through which a Coach assists you to explore issues that you need to resolve, clarify or understand. Sometimes because of the emotional veneers in your unique situation you glance over the true answers and the frustration of not making progress dulls your thought patterns. Life Coaching provides you with tools to better assess your current situation in terms of qualifications, skills and life purpose.

Robyn Hey - Director: Robyn Hey & Associates

Robyn started practicing for her own account in August 2008.  She initially “squatted” at a spare desk in a colleague’s office and had no client base to speak of.  However by consistently delivering exceptional service Robyn developed a reputation for excellence.  At the end of 2010, Robyn tricked her two partners, Nichola and Michelle, with vague promises of fame and fortune into joining her on the adventure of a lifetime and has never looked back.  The 3D’s (as they call themselves – short for “3 directors”) have charged ahead and the growth of Robyn Hey and Associates has been such that the firm opened a second office in Claremont and had to procure larger office space in Woodstock to accommodate the burgeoning city branch of the practice.  
 

Determined to change the way law is practiced in South Africa, Robyn’s peculiar brand of humour combined with the firm’s highest standards of service and expertise has seen the firm’s client base grow and change over the last three years.  Clients such as Virgin Active, Stor-Age, The Foodbank, The Foschini Group of Companies, Invicta Holdings, Sasol and many other small, medium and large businesses have been drawn to this dynamic commercial practice which offers not only legal advice but real legal solutions and advice to businesses.

Retha van Staden - Solutionetics

Please tell us a little more about your business (what product/service do you provide and who is your target market).

I am passionate about helping other entrepreneurial-minded business people make sense of the digital and small business world and I love showing them how to market themselves effectively online and via face-to-face networking.

This is done in private consultation sessions or through my workshops, and it doesn’t matter if you have a full online presence or none at all – you will walk away with a much improved understanding, marketing ideas, strategic (but practical) solutions and action plans to effectively market your business and achieve your objectives.

Karen Brooks - Director: Inspirato

I’m a 44 year old mother of two awesome daughters, entrepreneur, an author, counselor and digital specialist. I was in IT, in the corporate world for 20 years before taking a leap of faith into the unknown, where I completed my BA. Psych degree, and ended up being a digital author. Who would have thought?

Tell us a little more about your dream and journey of being the first author to have your two teenage spiritual fantasy fiction novels published on MXit: The first of the Emily series poured out within 3 months, much to my surprise as I always expected to write an adult self-help book with my degree in Psychology. But having journeyed into the ‘heavens’ I guess God had a different plan, as out popped this teenage fantasy book with spiritual signposts for the younger adult. And so my journey into the publishing world started – with all the publishers I approached telling me that they wouldn’t publish local fantasy as the kids wouldn’t read it!

I didn’t believe them, and so I started wondering about how to go about doing this myself. What a learning curve. The first 50 copies I printed were appalling. The print quality was terrible, the books fell apart as soon as you opened the spine, and I found that I needed to have them professionally edited too. And so I learned. I spent some monies finding a great editor, and sourced a different supplier for print, as well as a new designer for the cover. I decided to market at schools since this was my target market all in one room, but still wondered how I could reach a broader audience.
